THE CASPER TRIBUNE-HERALD and it is difftcult for us at best to match them. But any polit- ical county chairman in the United States knows enough tg keep out of a convention which is “framed” against him from the start. And if Europe is combining through the Locarno treaty and other agencies to stop the “growth of American economic imperialism” there can be little doubt that the league and a purely league court will be “framed” against us. If there is any reason for our joining the league, which is doubtful, it certainly is not that we ought to join it becanse it is being packed against us Co-operation works better when in use than when it is just talked about. | ot | Anyhow there will be one advantage about going into the league through the back door.

For all of us know that work, worry, labor and trouble, tem- pered by comparatively little love and happiness form the lot of most men their whole life long, Yet the professional opti- mist is popular. Man does not want to be told his life is but an empty dream, He would believe otherwise. He would have his philosophers lie to him. In early youth, as we contemplate our coming life, we are like children in a th before the curtain is raised, sitting there in h spirits and eagerly waiting for the play to begin. [t is a blessing that we do not know what is going to happen. Could we forsee it, there are times when children might seem like innocent prisoners, condemned, not to death, but to life and yet unconscious of what their sentence means. Nevertheless every man desires to reach old age, in other words, a state of life of which it might be said, “It is bad to- day, and it will be worse tomorrow; and soon to be worst of all.” Naturally man dislikes to be told this. “There is no hope, no comfort in your philosophy,” he complains. “Go to the priests then, and leave the philosophers in peace,” the pessimi eri “At any rate do not ask us to commodate our doctrinés to the lessons you have been tau That is what those rascals of sham philosophers will do for you. Ask them for any doctrine you please, and you will get it. And university professors are bound to preach optimism. What is life? The best answer is the one oft quote¢ little gleam of time between two eternities.” Wise is the ing, “Live each day as if it were your whole life,” Same Old Senate A clear working majority and real leadership make it pos sible for the Republican house to set a new record. in fact re establi anch of cong h itself as the most important br ess, in marked contrast with the last few years during which it deter- iorated to such extent, that little or no attention was given to it lack In the senate divided of an administration working ma, activities. nd ineffective leadership, rity, with the group of diecal and independent Republicans joining more often than not with the Democrats, will result in protracted debate that ill t difficult to enact any considerable amount of leg- Wet Activity A flood of proposals for amendment or repeal of the Vol- l-act and the eighteenth amendment has poured in upon s in its early hours. There are many liberalizing pro- ls from the wet side while the “drys” seek to Uraw lines tighter. Though most of the measures are in the house, Mr. Edge of New Jersey introduced in the senate a bill to allow beer up to 2.75 per cent of alcohol by weight and would repeal existing restrictions against doctors prescribing more than a nt of liquor in ten days to a patient. One bill from the dry side would place enforcement officers under ciyil service. His Great Opportunity Now comes President Coolidge’s first opporunity to show his mettle as a fighter, This congress was elected with him in 1924. For hiia the situation at Washington is no longer an in- heritance. It will require fighting leadership to get from cdn- gress what he wants and in respect to most of his program he has the undoubted asset of a widespread public support. Successful leadership may imply willingness to compro- mise on occasion but we hope the president does not carry such amiability too far. America should enter the world court with- out too many deadening reservations. Departmental reorgani- zation ought to be as thorough as it is belated; to compromise with politics on the issue would betoken faint-hearted interest in reform, Americans like in the presidential chair a man ready to fight for his convictions, This is Calyin Coolidge’s great opportunity. Proof of the Pudding The free trade text books used to tell us also that a high protective tariff, by shutting off foreign competition, encour- d te and inefficiency in domestic industry. That this 1 e is evidenced by the present tremendous increase in efficiency and in the elimination of industrial waste. Provided with the greatest home market in the world as a stabilizer and prosperity promoter American industry has grown better in ery way during the past few years, The market has been as- sured, the workers haye received higher wages and yet as th sport proves, the wholesale costs have decreased as sharply as wag ve risen. After all the results accomplished are the best argument. The proof of the pedding is in the eating. The Tie That Doesn't Bind Divor in the United States number in 1924 from the 19: increased 3.5 per cent in % figures, while the number of-mar- riages in 1924 was less, Texas had the most divorces, with Illinois second and Ohio third, In Nevada the untying was al most equal to the tying, as there were 1,037 diyorces and 1,070 marriages in 1¢ Care Is Needed Some commentators on international affairs are stating that the signing of the Locarno treaty means a political re- alignment in Europe, With Germany, Britain, France and Italy in the league of natior it is claim they will dominate that body and there will be t great isolated nations, the United States on the t and Russia on the east.

Mokler ¢ Tomorrow and the next day, December 14 and 15, the Reclama- tion Service of the United States will hold a conference in the national capital, and quite a number of representative men from the west will be in atiendance, The Casper Chamber of Commerce has sent a representative, arid Wyoming’s senators and representa- tive in the house will be there to do what they can for the inter- ests of Wyoming. The Nebraska delegation will also be there. Pwenty ive years ago the water from the Pathfinder project in Wyoming was appropriated to Nebraska through misrepresenta- tion and under false pretenses, and while I do not want to.a ppear ', Iam truthful in saying that the result of this con- ference will be disappointing to the people of this section who have had hopes of getting water on their land from this project. The ¢ nference is called more for the approyal of the attitude of the secretary of the interior in his scheme to have the states agree to assume the responsibility for the successful settlement and for the payments on projects after the government has completed the construction of irr ion work. The Pathfinder project although commenced in 1900, is now termed by the Reclamation Service, or the Interior Department, as a new project, and “new projects,” on account of the old projects having failed to pay their way, are going tu have hard sledding with any economical administration. } The directors of the Natrona ‘County High School district ‘are to be commended for their action in nning the possession of smoking material on the high school ¢ mpus. A $200 fire in the three-quarter-of-a-million-dellar high school building last Thurs- » caused by one of the students throwing a lighted cigarette stub in a waste basket, caused the directors to make the ruling that should haye been in force long before the fire was started. The taxpayers of Natrona county have invested several million dollars in school buildings and they pay annual salaries to more than 150 teachers, and it is to be hoped that the “young hopefuls” will improve their minds during the study hours and strengthen their bodies with healthful exercise during the intermissions, instead of undermining both by smoking cigarettes. the asylums and even the grave yart apidly filled with men and. women who drink moonsl his week a young man, or rather a boy 20 years of age, who held a responsible position in the Casper postoffice, confessed that he had stolen a sum of money from letters that he was en- trusted to deliver. His ex: for the theft was that his appetite for whiskey had gotten the better of him. He no doubt will be sent to the federal prison, where he will remain long enough to be cured of his craving for moonshine, In the days of the licensed saloon the saloon-keeper who sold a minor whiskey would have his license revoked and he would be prosecuted, and the chances were t he would be convicted. The bootlegger who furnished this young man the rotten stuff will carry on without even an in- vestigation while the young man’s life will be blighted and perhaps forever ruined. are being ne whiske; A month or so ago another man made the supreme sacrifice because he drank Casper moonshine whiskey. He was a poor sheep- herder, who had worked hard on the range, for more than a year without coming to town to “celebrate,” then, with his accumulated wealth, he came in and drank enough of the poisonous stuff to make him crazy, and he stripped himself of all his clothing and wandered about on the bleak plains and was frozen to death. About « month before this tragedy two bootleggers killed another boot- legger. If all three had been killed the community, no doubt, would have been better off’ ,but as it was, a murder was committed and the two high-jackers accused each other of shooting their co-worker, and at the court trial both were given a clean ,bill and were told to go their way. They are residing in Casper today and are probably making mére money than most men who are operating a legal, legitimate business. To count the liyes that have been lost and wrecked in this city during the past couple of years on account of drinking and trafficing in moonshine is astounding, and to count the convictions in the courts for the murders that have been committed is equal to a cipher with the rim scratched off. With all the federal, state, county and city officers constantly on the alert, it does seem that they could make it a little harder for a man to purchase the noxious stuff, but then, on the other hand, when the officers do make arrests and the offenders are turned loose by the cburts, it is most discouraging to the officers, as well } as to those who are anxious to have the law enforced. The conclu- | Sion is that there are too many loop holes in the law, Convictions on “general principles, asx was the custom in the early days, 1g your man first and give him a trial afterwards,” might be a. good thing for awhile. or, It is said, but it is hard to believe that’ it is true, that the young man who does not carry a flask on his hip when he calls on his “sweetie” or goes to a dance or party, is not. popular with the young ladies of Casper, and he is termed as a “stick,” and the girl ison, smoke cigarettes and put who does not drink bootleg poi enough paint on her face and lips to rnin the beautiful complexion that God gaye to her, is compared as a horse and buggy to the up-to-date automobile. It is my good fortune to know quite a num- ber of girls in this city of the “horse-and-buggy” style, and they are among the happiest politest and healthiest girls in towh. They will make good women and good wives, and it is a one hundred to one chance that they will never be in the courts asking for a di- vorce if they marry a man who does not carry a flask on his hip. World Topics “A new type—a steel tank lined with glass—is making an appear- ance in the French-railway rolling stock,” observes Robert _ Forrest Wiléon in his new book, “Paris On Parade,” “but most wine ‘cars are fat wooden tuns, fron hooped and clamped to ra'l- ¢ way trucks. “Down the middle of each street of the Halle aux Vins, the twenty. seven acres of which are laid out in blocks as regular as those of an American dity, runs a rail- way track. Up- on these tracks the wine cars ie are shunted to ROBERT WILSON the establish- ments to which they are consigned. When one {s anchored in place, workmen emerge from the build- ing to take its contents from It. Between the rails under the car is a manhole sheltering the thirsty mouth of an intake pipe. ‘This be- ing coupled with bose to the car's udders, the wine begins to roar into the merchant's receiving cistern, building up drifts of !vory or pink foam and filling the room above with sour smell of young wine. From this cistern {t 1s pumped into upper tanks to be run out by gravity into barrels for final delivery. ‘apoleon Bonaparte bulit the Halle aux Vine in 1808, and he built it to stay, with e'ght-foot walls. enclosing an underground maze of gleaming aisles between storage -tanks.

Registration Cure By JAMES A. FLEMING. In answer to “Who Is Who and Who Are You?" in the United States of America. It is conceded by most good citi zens that there is too much respon- sibility placed on the officers for en- forcement of laws; that a better co- operation of civilians and officers would do much toward bringing criminals to justice. That there is something radically wrong with our civilization cannot be denied. Do not understand that people, as a whole, are worse than in times past, for such Is not true. Facilities for committing crime have incteased in the same ratio that they have for doing good. The masses are so busy trying to get the mort to offer, they forget and are every day laying themselves Mable to the daring deeds of the criminal. That something will have to be out of the good the present age has | SUNDAY, DECEMBER 1 CHARACTER IN NEWSPAPERS Louis Wiley, business manager of the New York Times, speaking to the Advertising Club of Boston, de- lvered a plea for character in news- papers. He said: “When I Umit this favorable yaluation of character to the think- Ing public, Iam not one of those moderns who restrict the thinking part of our population to the in- finitesimal ‘fraction which expresses @& sympathetic understanding of imagistic poetry, cubistic art and futuristic music. The occupation of thinking, In hard, commonsense fashion, and with effective results Js a national habit of Americans which is widespread. It ‘is the foundation stone of that. marvelous success of tho daily newspaper which -has been one of the tmpres- sive facts of the past quarter cen- tury. ‘One of the-respects in which the newspaper of 1925 {s superior to that of any other period in our his- tory fs in the freeing of its news columns from partisanship. political or otherwise. The independent newspaper is the best type of jour- nalism—its news columns free of any purpose except to present the truth; its editorial page independ- ent of blind subservience to any party, though holding strong con- victions, “In no substantial quarter has any attack been made upon the character of the newspaper. Quite apart from the fact that such an at- tack could not be sustained, it is obviously {impossible to ascribe a dark and sinister aspect to any bus!- ness or profession which werks 80 transparently in the open. “What other profession does its work so much subject to the in- spection of every one? The lawyer, the doctor, even the teacher remain relatively unobserved as compared with the newspaper man. Not only does the reporter or the editorial writer deal with things of common public knowledge, stating facts which are known to some of the readers and eas'ly checked by others, but his story is printed, not ag an annual or monthly but in 9 few hours, while the event is fresh in the minds of the public. The exceed’ng care which the editors of responsible newspapers take to be metr'culously accurate in the news would astonish mdny of you, who are reasonably familiar with newspapers; ‘e have recently gone through one of those periodic tests of the preas and of the community—in the trial of the Rhinelander case. | Some citizens have criticized the news- papers for paying attention to this news event; others haye said that {t oceupted too much space in pro- port'on to {ts real importance, Its nature made the tr’al one In which the individual newspaper's sense of decency was measured.” “Why did newspapers appealing to the hest people in the community pring the news of that trial? The answer {s that {t is in many ways a part of the public duty of the done quickly {s granted by every student of government, if our repul- lic, of which we areall so proud, is le, of which we are all’ so’ proud, is crime are forming clubs and sending committees before legislative bodies asking for state police in states that do not already have them. A nat- fonal poiice bureiu is being asked for, to ald in the suppression of crime. If a large police force would be a guarantee of less crime, the public would approve of such a meas- ure at once, However, neither an- clent or modern history discloses that the appointing or electing of men to office renders, them immune from temptation and crime. It does stand to reason that some measure that would tend to check persons of a criminal tendency might be worth trying. With a view of help: ing the officers and public to meet the situation and at the same time provide the fullest degree of co-op: eration possible the following sug: gestions are offered: “Enact an amendment to the nut, fonal constitution requiring each every citizen of school age or over who is composmentis to be regis- tered in the county, state or dis: trict in which they live.” The registration to be made by authority of Jaw in each state or district based on the national con- stitutional amendment and by prop- er delegated officers.

The credentials should be renewed annually and. be free from direct cost to the individual as it is con- ceded that the saving in expense of criminal public prosecution would pay registration costs many. times over. Persons with a criminal record should have such record made a part of their credentials. Each and every registrar would be required to keep in thelr possession their own cre- dentials at all times, For any per- son to be apprehended and not be able to produce his or her dentifi- cation credentials would be suffitient that registered. parent their de Make the cause to be detained as a suspect and held until thelr identity could be established. In case of the loss of credentials or destruction of them it would be the duty of the loser to notify the authorities if aw: from home and proceed to secure another from their home records. If the loser was In his own home locality he should proceed to secure a dupll- cate from the records. In case any: one was apprehended who did not possess their credentials and who was held until their identity could be established and credentials se- cured, they would be subjected to a fine of twice the cost of the expense, unless the records of their home showed that credentials had been duly issued and in that case if tons or destruction of credentials was ‘vlaimed and preven, no fine could he collected, eh and every person claiming credentials carry the, press. Here was a young man of Influential family and wealth, suing for annulment of his marriage to an unfortunate member of an obscure family. If the day should-ever come when the newspapers ignored such an, event, what. a cry would be raised that the press kept s‘lence when the rich sued the poor. “No newspaper stories went #0 far in their printed accounts of the unpleasant feature of the trial as do some plays to which our critics object on the ground of their in- decencies, Aga'n, the newspapers did not originate the Rhinelander case, but merely reported the news. To do this is nat to be comparéd with the creation and staging of a wholly fictitious play of unsavory nature for private gain. Nor were any clreulation gains observable to the managers of our standard news- papers. No attempt was made to capital'ze a2 morbid curiosity in the case, “That effort for tmpartial accu- racy fs one of the measures of news- paper character.
